D to answer your question and at the risk of being slightly off topic. I'd say, respectfully :
Lose the line and title defining the foot or stance line as it has no bearing on plane line considerations. Identify your Low Point line. Move the ball back progressively to highlight the associated progressive increase in Divergence. I'd also remove your title "the hook" it's really not a how to hit a hook thing but rather the inherent draw tendency associated with moving the ball back given grip rotation. 7-2 GRIP TYPES. Not shot shaping. There are plane line implications to Grip Rotation..
You've drawn the angle of approach this being a hitter question but Hitters do commonly use the Arc of Appraoch as well ..... So maybe for clarity sake you could draw and identify the Arc of approach and leave that 2-j-3 can of worms for another day. It got a whole different set of geometric considerations that is best left alone for these purposes. Including a cross line plane line. But that said the ground work you are doing here would describe it as well ........
Man imagine 7-2 and 2-J-3 explained with diagrams......that would some serious fog abatement.

I'll give it a try tonight and post the corrections. I like the ideas.

Good stuff..........stance line just does not mean anything to me anymore as far as ball flight. Plane line is the key, where a player as the plane line directed is where its at in terms of importance. Stance line just promotes other biomechancial movements IMO.
Stance line closed makes tracing a plane line left easier. Ball should be played at low point as well because as the plane moves left the ball moves further back.
I am not sure what procedure I use, it cant be cross line because my aiming point is low and left, but its certainly not an arc either.

These drawings are really great. Are you drawing set up or impact. I really am inquiring about the location of the hands. If they are set up the hands are not mid body but close to fix. They are closer to fix therefore impact location. Sorry I might have had a few two many libations as we are snowed in here in south carolina. Very unusual for us. Hard to be stuck inside and reading about golf. I will review all of this in AM with COFFEE and perhaps my old brain will get it. At any rate I am saving it all to my file "Best of Lynn Blake". Looking foward to putting it all on the new Ipad I will get with the gift cards my kids gave me for Christmas. Then I can take it to the range and go over to the shade and look at it. You see for an old guy it is hard to remember to stuff between the house and the range !!
Just noticed how the third and the fourth diagrams have an Impact Plane Line and a Low Point Plane line.........thats one heck of a great addition D.
The further back the ball goes the wider the gap between the two plane lines gets, the more Divergence, the more tilted backspin and the more curvature. Or something like that anyways.
